Test scores are one lens, and at this school they're a rough one right now. The sections below show the fuller picture — including the parts that are working.
As a charter, Dr. Lewis Dolphin Stallworth Sr. Charter enrolls by application, not address — the score reads the same, the enrollment path doesn't.
